Back to EpisodesBig Tech Won: How Trump Failed to Stop Foreign Worker Replacement 11 Years Later | 6/12/26
Description
American workers have been systematically replaced by foreign labor in more industries than we can count. I’m joined today by attorney John Miano, a computer programmer and fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, to expose how two terms of Trump have done nothing to alter the trajectory. Despite promises of an "America First" immigration policy, the tech industry and corporate America continue to exploit foreign labor loopholes, leaving American graduates locked out of their own job markets. In this deep dive, Miano breaks down how Big Tech lobbies the executive branch and bypasses visa caps using the Optional Practical Training program and why conservative leadership has failed to deliver meaningful, long-term immigration reform. Also, the courts are a one-way ratchet to greenlight any immigration expansion, but they block any restrictions that are in line with law and precedent. What we are doing is not working.
